Prime Video's Spider-Noir trailer with Cage

Prime Video’s “Spider-Noir” campaign has moved from first-look imagery to full trailer rollout ahead of the show’s late-May debut. The live-action series stars Nicolas Cage and is set in 1930s New York, with Amazon and Marvel both describing it as available in two versions: “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color.” Amazon said the series will debut domestically on MGM+’s linear channel on May 25 and globally on Prime Video on May 27. ### Why are people focusing on the black-and-white trailer? Prime Video has made the black-and-white presentation part of the show’s identity, not a minor stylistic extra. In the official teaser posted by Prime Video, the company said “Spider-Noir” arrives in “Authentic Black & White and True-Hue Full Color” on May 27 on Prime. Marvel repeated that framing in its own coverage of the teaser and said the series would be available in both black and white and color. (aboutamazon.com) The 1930s setting is central to that look. Amazon’s series description says Cage plays Ben Reilly, “a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York,” while an earlier Prime Video lineup announcement described him as an aging investigator forced to confront his past life as the city’s only superhero. ### Who is Nicolas Cage playing in this version? (youtube.com) Amazon’s current series page identifies Cage’s character as Ben Reilly, not Peter Parker. The official description says Ben Reilly is a private investigator who must grapple with his past after a personal tragedy, while Prime Video’s international listings describe him taking on cases that draw him back toward his former life as New York’s only superhero. (aboutamazon.com) Marvel’s coverage ties the project to the “Spider-Man Noir” comic but does not change the release framing: Sony Pictures Television is producing the series exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. That places the show inside a Marvel-based adaptation pipeline while still being distributed through Amazon’s streaming and linear outlets.

The Prime Video listing names Nicolas Cage, Lamorne Morris and Jack Huston in the cast, and About Amazon says the show will reach viewers in more than 240 countries and territories after its U.S. linear debut. (marvel.com) A separate Amazon programming roundup for May 2026 also lists “Spider-Noir” among the month’s new originals and calls it a series about a “super-powered private investigator set in 1930s New York.” That language matches the noir framing seen in the trailer coverage and marketing copy. ### Is this trailer actually the first look at the series? (primevideo.com) Prime Video had already released a teaser in February 2026. The official Prime Video YouTube upload for that teaser was published three months ago and said the series would arrive on May 27, while Amazon’s 2025 lineup reveal had already shown a first look at Cage in costume. What changed in May was the push into a broader launch window. (aboutamazon.com) Prime Video’s current pages carry a “coming soon” label and a trailer, and Amazon published a dedicated “how to watch” article on May 19 laying out the May 25 and May 27 rollout. ### When and where can viewers watch it next? May 25 is the first scheduled release date in the United States, when “Spider-Noir” is set to premiere on MGM+’s linear channel, according to Amazon. (youtube.com) May 27 is the global Prime Video launch date, and Prime Video says the series will stream in both black-and-white and color versions. (aboutamazon.com) (primevideo.com)
